Dist:0.3km<br/>Built in circa 1373 by Sir John Delamere, it is a rarity amongst British castles for its unusual French influence. In his service abroad during the Hundred Years War, Sir John had been impressed by the French style of castle building, and it may have influenced him to build something similar. Consisting of a rectangular tower house, with large drum towers at each corner, its nearest likeness can only be found in Ireland. In this particular example, the southwest and northeast towers are so close together (separated by a curtain wall only about a metre long), they almost appear to be joined together. It was badly damaged during the Civil War, when the north wall was partially destroyed by cannon, forcing a surrender. Grade I Listed.
